If time in Gustavus and Glacier Bay is limited, you can still experience world-class sea kayaking and whale-watching with fantastic day trips. These trips leave from Gustavus and we provide the gear, guides, and lunch.

Our Whales trips are our most popular and longest-running — we pioneered these routes 30 years ago and know every inch of shoreline, the best places to view humpback whales, and superb hikes through old growth forest.

My trip with Spirit Walker Expeditions was amazing. My experience kayaking among the whales is something I will never forget! Go! You will love it.

We had a wonderful experience on a Spirit Walker trip this summer. Six nights, seven days in the Myriad Islands Wilderness. The trip was well organized, the gear was top quality and the guides were great! ... an experience I'll always remember.

Hearing the whales and having them come up so close to you is a once in a lifetime feeling.

We booked the Whales tour to Point Adolphus for our family which includes a 6 year old and 9 year old... Great safety orientation for our boys who don't have a lot of experience kayaking. Thanks for an unforgettable experience.

It doesn't get any better than this. If you want to experience the real Alaska you must get out on the water... If we return to Alaska, we will make this expedition again.

"Magic Family Holiday" I can't say enough about the wonderful trips that Spirit Walker puts together. The safety and equipment is great. The guides are great fun and knowledgeable about the areas we went. The food is incredible.
